Announcing my new meditation album!

74 Comments

Hiya Wonderful,

A few months ago I shared that I was creating a meditation album and I wanted your feedback. What did you need? What were you struggling with? Where were you stuck? Well, your heartfelt comments inspired the creation of my Self-Care for Busy People Meditation Album that I’m excited to release today! Read on to learn how to sample a free track, my gift to you…

This album was designed to help you experience more peace and ease in your life. To be honest, working on it was a blessing for both me and my husband, Brian. I wrote, we recorded, he edited, we polished. I would find him in the editing room with candles lit and a sweet, peaceful smile on his face. The more time we spent on the album, the happier we felt. In fact, we kept giggling and saying “this shizzle really works, even in the production process!”

Now some of you may be thinking, Kris made a meditation album? Isn’t she the Queen of Kale? What does meditation have to do with nourishing yourself? EVERYTHING. In fact, it may even be more important from time to time. I don’t know about you, but when I’m feeling stressed, anxious and overwhelmed, a green smoothie doesn’t always solve the problem.

The more we dial down our stress and connect with ourselves, the happier and more resilient we become. We are not our thoughts, we are not our disease, we are not our problems. It may feel that way sometimes, but it’s just not true. We can choose overwhelm or we can choose calm. Of course it’s not always that easy but it is that simple and meditation can be your guide.

By the way, if the word “meditation” makes you antsy, just call it a mindfulness practice. Meditation isn’t always religious and it doesn’t have to happen on a pillow—sometimes I find walking the dogs or even doing the dishes can bring me to a place of introspection. I encourage you to find a way to practice that works in your daily life. And I hope this album brings you one step closer to that practice and to joy.

As a digital album, you’ll be able to listen easily on your phone, tablet or laptop and access it whenever you’re ready to clear your mind and open your heart! Here’s what you’ll find inside the album…

Plus, with every meditation under 15 minutes (and some as short as 4!), you’ll find it easy to fit these meditations into your wildly busy, beautiful life!

Here’s a sneak peek track from the album for a personal boost.

Sample my Pep Talk meditation below. It will lift you up and remind you that you are loved. Sometimes our days don’t go as planned, but you have the power to choose calm instead of overwhelm, allow this meditation to guide you back to your center.

Listen to the Pep Talk meditation here:

Your turn: Listen now—then, let us know how you feel after the meditation in the comments below.

I hope these words inspire you to make this practice part of your life.

“I absolutely adore your meditation album—it immediately became non-negotiable parts of my day. I’ve tried to meditate daily over the years, but hadn’t found anything that inspired me enough to stick with it, until now! I love that they are short enough that they are easy to fit into my day, but they are so beautiful, calming and inspiring that I feel blissfully happy afterwards. I don’t think I could pick a favourite, I love them all!” —Kali

“With the help of the meditation album I have started to meditate almost everyday. It does make such a huge difference for me! In the morning I “tune in first” and connect with myself. My morning meditation is usually followed by a green smoothie—it helps me to make healthier choices throughout the day and also to stay in the present moment. When my thoughts begin to wander, I take a deep breath and return back to the present.” —Antje Waschke

“I have been in need of some new meditations to keep me energised and motivated during the winter months. As a school teacher and well-being coach I spend my days helping others feel chilled, positive and energised, but when I’m super busy, I don’t always remember to take my own advice. These meditations are beautiful and I’ve already put them on my phone so that I can access them whenever I need to.” —Tasha Mann

“My favourite [meditation] is the self-love reboot. I listen to it several times a day, at home, on transit, at work. Whenever I feel anxious or vulnerable or panicked and it brings me back to the moment. The words from the meditations come back to me during the day and help me to remember to be grateful and to breathe.” —Elyse Jenkins

So excited for this! I didn’t listen to the sample yet, since I already had my prayer/mediation/visualization time this morning. Love what you said about being the queen of kale! I used to think that if everyone would just eat whole foods and move their bodies more, all their problems would be solved. Finally, in my own life, I saw how eating the best foods and taking awesome care of my body still wasn’t enough. Spiritual time and supportive relationships are just as, if not more important to our overall well being. Oh, and it’s also important to just let loose and have fun! It’s all about the balance. Thanks for the reminder Kris!

Thank you for the work that you do and for sharing this! Although I had done my meditation time today, I took the time to meditate with you and I am so glad I did. I had a good release of tears that allowed my overwhelmed feeling to float away. I am excited to be purchasing your CD today. Many Blessings to YOU!

Thank you Kris. This meditation was exactly what I needed this morning. I’ve been looking for a meditation for myself and to share with others on my team. It was a great gift for me today that I am excited to share with my team leaders and pay it forward.

Thank you ……..I am in the recovery part of a very long year of fighting breast cancer. I have changed and applied many new things in my life but today I am most grateful that I opened your mail first. This is just what I needed to hear. I sat quietly with tears streaming down my face …smiling ……
I can now move forward today .
Downloading the album …..adding this to my day.
I will share my mantra with you .
Every say when I wake up I say
Thank you God for this amazing ,beautiful day .
I love life
I love my life
I love myself.

I have no idea where that came from .
It just is
With gratitude,
Catherine

Loved listening to the sample meditation, thank you.
A few weeks ago I wrote you about sending you a Healing Headband (TM) I’ve started a nonprofit where we Help those with serious illness feel better w A Laugh* Create* Heal mindset. Please let me know how I can contact you directly. Thank you.

Thank you for this uplifting and happy peek into your newest creation! I’m accepting more and more that help is a good thing and that it’s a circle… I receive help from others and thus am able to help others more. Your words and generous offerings help the world – bless you!! <3

This meditation album has been such a blessing in my life. I turn to it every day, and there is always a track that gives me just what I need. The pep talk meditation is so beautiful, and the affirmations for healing have been perfect for me since I’ve been dealing with some health issues recently. I have used other guided meditations and this is by far my favorite and the only one that I truly crave listening to every day. Thank you, Kris, for such a beautiful collection.

This is a beautiful and affirming mediation that I connected with so strongly, I found myself placing my hand on my heart and felt the love. I will do this one daily and cannot wait to listen to the other meditations. Thank you, Kris!

I got this in the bundle with your juice cookbook a while back and absolutely love it! I just listened to the pep talk one this morning and it made my heart fill with joy! I was trained in Transcendental Meditation a few years ago and fell out of the practice over time, so I have been listening to this album to ease my way back into it and it has been perfect. I love everything you say and the way you speak in each track just touches my soul. Thank you thank you thank you!

Thank you for my first ever meditation listening experience Kris. As always you are amazing. I don’t use digital media, I would need this in a CD. But thank you for the sample to listen to on my home computer. I feel aamzing already. I’m headed out to Acupuncture, I will be relaxed and at one.

Thank you so much Kris. I have had very difficult 2 weeks where I find myself in the middle of a storm, where everything was shaking and I tried to keep calm but find myself in chaos. After coming home this evening I find your meditation in the mailbox, listened to it en yes, a door went open and I find myself smiling, breathing and filled with believing in the beauty of living our lifes. Your voice is made for this, I feel the vibrations even here in Belgium.

I just listened to your Pep Talk Meditation and you brought me to tears. Unexpected tears and a deep soul cry. What a beautiful gift you are to this world. I cannot thank you enough for this gentle reminder and virtual hug. The loving energy you give in this mediation was overwhelming. We all need to take time to remember how bright our light is; to surrender, let go and live in joy. Thank you for your beautiful guidance today.

loved the meditation it was beautiful easy to listen to. Your voice sounds so peaceful. This meditation I can connect to. I listened to the pep talk meditation I liked the way I felt it definitely lifted me up. I will be purchasing the album.
Thank you so much for this.

Beautiful job Kris & Brian!! I just thought I would listen to the meditation for a minute before I bought the cd, but I *actually* took a moment for myself at my home desk and did the meditation. Eyes closed and all. Ooph… I’m feelin’ relaxed now. Thanks for that! Looking forward to listening to you in the mornin’s and other times. Great idea to keep em short. No excuses then! xo

I love this! Thanks Kris, you’re voice is very soothing. Also, I am so used to your voice since I listened to so many of your videos during my healing with your first blog, that it feels like an old friend talking me through some relaxation techniques.

You are -quite simply- an endless source of inspiration. I’m 63 years old -still yearning for new ideas and thoughts. You constantly offer them and I enjoy and share every one of your posts. Thank you for sharing all your goodness.

Thank you, Kris, Love it, and everything you do that you always put your heart and soul into. I’m totally looking forward to making this an every day part of my life. I can feel the change already — And it is grand!!

Kris you are such an inspiration…I am an Oncology social worker and your Pep Talk Meditation sample is fantastic…for me and something I can also suggest for my patients for their well being during their cancer journey.

Enjoyed the “pep talk” meditation. It left me feeling relaxed and ready to start my day without feeling overwhelmed. Rather I feel mindful and ready to tackle whatever happens today. An inspiration to become dedicated to daily practice of meditations like this one.

That Pep Talk Meditation was A M A Z I N G. Wow. Tears of joy and pure release were flowing down my cheeks the ENTIRE time. Thank you so much, Kris. I can’t wait to listen to the rest of your awesomeness!

Hi Chris
Its midnight and i just listened to your sample meditation and it calmed me dowm so much that i was falling asleep. Its so soothing, uplifting and helps me to remember my self-worth and its just so peaceful and makes me feel happy and that anything is possible. I have four daughters that are living crazy busy lives and i will make sure they get your new album. I really get a strong sense of just how loving and genuine you are about helping others feel good about themselves May God bless you and your husband for the time well spent in making this album. Cant wait to order it !!!

This is absolutely divine…in so many ways! I love this new endeavor and I am getting it right now!! You have such a gift for touching people lives in ways that are ‘nourishing’ to the body and the soul that just keeps expanding! I look forward to sharing this with my clients. Thank you Kris!!!

I live the hectic world of IT, where top performers in the US are being asked to train people off-shore to do their jobs for less compensation, where service takes a back seat to profit, and quality vs politics on a regular basis. I had a particular difficult day…. enjoyed the pep-talk mediation….may listen to it again today! Nice work!

I LOVE your meditation album. I enjoy your voice and your Pep Talk Meditation is pure bliss! A meditation to tune in several times a day if needed.
Thank you for making this meditation album as I am finally finding my daily meditation routine and I am looking for forward to enjoy your guided mediations. Now I can relate to the need of daily meditations. Thank you Kris 🙂

My dear friend and soul sister Lindsley sent me this sample. I just tried the meditation. It was lovely. Right on time. With the wind swirling around outside on this Monday it was nice to slip into yr meditation. Thank you for that. Thanks also to Linds she just knows. One Love
